Question

which equation represents a líne that has a slope of
`( - 1)/(2)`and passes through the point (4,0)?

Answer 1

Given data:

The given slope of the line is m=-1/2

The given point is (a,b)=(4,0).

The expression for the equation of the line is,

y-b=m(x-a)

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

y-0=(-1/2)(x-4)

y=(-1/2)x+2

Thus, the first option is correct.
